episode 2

 A day had passed since ive told her...

     Its been a day since i revealed my past to my bestfriend. Xander didn't come back and that's fine. I dont want to ever see that jerk. The reason why he looked for me is beyond my imagination and i dont even want to know why.  After yesterday's  eventful morning, we didn't notice the time so we just ordered chinese food for brunch. Its friday so we don't have work the other days, we just stayed at my house to eat and watch movies. It was fun. Spending time with her makes me forget the past. When the night come, Sarah bid me goodbye because she have to go home and check her siblings. Now its sunday and i have nothing to do. Its already 11 am and im still in my bed staring at my ceiling. I cant help but to remember Xander's face, he become more handsome after all these years, he's more mature looking and he's body is to die for, his chest looks hard that i want to lean on it and live there forever, he's face.... my God... especially his lips, i what to li.... "OH MY GOD!!!RINA WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING!! He hurted you and still! Still!!you want to.. to..! I cant even say it! Get your self together bitch!"My subconscious scolded me. I blinked a few times still shocked with how ridiculous i am. I sighed, she's right im so pathetic. I got up and jump 10 times. I looked into my vanity mirror and began talking to myself like the crazy person i am.

" Rina you can do this! He's nothing to you now! He is the past that is bound to remain in there. You will not think about him and move on with your life! This is your life now and your happy! Im happy!!! AHHHH!!!" I shouted after the speech i gave myself, when my crazy time ended,trying to fool my self, i jog happily to the kitchen to cook my self some food. I was about to enter the kitchen when someone knocked on my door.

"Who could that be?" I opened the door slightly to check on the person, but i only find a  big fancy box in the floor with no sender on sight. I opened the door and look on the hallway for the sender but none, i picked up the box and get in the house. Its so big but light. 

    I opened the box and saw a cute teddy almost as big as me, no scratch that IT IS bigger than me! I love it! But who could send this to me? I dont have any admirer that im aware of. Xander? Naaa!! Impossible, that jerk will never send me beautiful things like this coz he said it himself. Im ugly. I find a note but it didn't stated whose the owner, it only said...

"For you my Love."

   I ignored it because right now, im more engulf  with the giant teddy bear right in front of me.

      Now its monday and i have to get up to prepare for work but im still snuggling unto my teddybear, i named him Channie. He's so cute and smells good too, his smell is quite familiar i just can't point out where did i smelled that fragrant. Naaa im too lazy to think about it now.

    After i settled here, i applied for a community college while working as a waitress in a nearby cafe where i met Sarah. She's a pastry chef there, a famous restaurant owner discovered her pastries and got really impressed so he asked Sarah to work for him. She asked our boss and our boss agreed saying that that kind opportunity should be grab immediately. She already have a list for her recipe so the cafe still went well. As for me, after graduating i seeked job after job and luckily got accepted and hired as the marketing assistant on a big construction company. All went well since i got here. I had a peaceful life, far away from my nightmares.

    I get up, took a bath and prepared my self. I decided to wear a simple loose dress shirt, arms folded, tucked it into my black slacks and let my natural wavy hair loose. I made my self breakfast. I really like to eat rice in the morning, it gave me more energy for the day i think. Fried rice and hotdog with hot choco is the best. After eating i brushed my teeth and wore my 2 inch heels shoes, lock the door and leave.

    When i arrived at the office, i knock on my boss's door Mr. George Vilma and when i entered i asked him if he needed anything but he said none at this time and he'll just call me through the intercom if he needed me, so i went to my desk to prepare and start working the documents i should type. I was typing on my computer when i noticed Sofia, my co\-worker walking towards me, she leaned at the side of my desk and looked at me. She's a friend and nice but kinda talkative.

" Hi Sofia" I greeted her.

" Hello Rina, so how was your weekend?!" She asked excitedly, like there's something exciting about my life. A 24 years old single and VIRGIN HA! I chuckled.

"Nothing much really, how about you? " I asked while resuming from my neglected typing. 

" Well i went to a small beach with my family, its my Mom's birthday last saturday so we went to celebrate. Its so much fun you know, swimming and eating. I even met a very fine man. Oh my God! If only you saw him you'll totally agree how handsome and hot he is! We swappednumbers and he's texting me nonstop! He's so cute!! I think im in love!!" She even squealed. See how blabby she is? I lightly laugh at her and simple nod.

"I bet he is Sofia" i said.

"Yes he is, enough of my weekend, i come here to ask you if you know anything about the new owner of the company?" She stated. 

" No i haven't heard of that, what happened to Mr. Ramirez?"

I asked. Mr. Max Ramirex is the owner and ceo of the company, eventhough im not working for him directly, i could see how much of a bad leader he is, from what i heard he have gambling issues and the company is the one facing the consequences for the problems he caused. Ofcourse no one can say a thing coz hey he is the boss. We just work harder to save the company. But ever since, its been like that so what happened now? 

" Apparently some said that he lost a big amount of money and had to sell the company to atleast save it from crushing down." She said sadly. 

"Wait... what?! Does it mean... we will be fired from our works?!" I said shocked and standing up. Sofia pushed me down to my seat.

"Shhhh shhh!! Rina quiet! This thing is still unknown to others okay!? Nothing is for sure right now so calm your self!" She quietly yelled at me. 

"From what i heard the owner is the only thing that is going to be changed and i guess a little bit of the company's system for the better. Well girl, i have to get back to work now. See you at lunch." Sofia said. I just nodded and waved her goodbye. I sighed and slouch on my chair. I start thinking of what could possibly happen, I can't loss this job, it's perfect for my new beginning.

A ping on my computer wake me up to reality. Its an notification for a new email. Its from the admin saying that all employees should be present on the conference room in an hour for an important announcement.

"I hope for everything to be fine." I said to myself and resume typing before i have to go to the conference room.
